the half moon hoe digs into the ground,
cuts away the unwanted grass
to reveal barren ground
upon which to plant
another seed
a flower, to bloom,
perhaps a wildflower

and maybe, this is
about gardening, after all

Perhaps it is about gardening! Perhaps...it's a great analogy!

Very pretty, Midnitesun. Seems to be about gardening, but I know you love analogies...
Enjoyable reading!

Well, I was reading a landscaping book which had a page on how to remove a grassy section in order to create a sculpted floral focus space.
You just never know what those gardening books can trigger in a mind such as mine.
